The last film a friend transferred on DVD for me was Image Size: 625 x 480. I'm going to be at his house and I wanted to know what to look for in his set up. I know he uses DirectTV DVR and then burns on DVD in 2.5 hour mode. He might sometimes goes in the next mode, which he calls 4 hour mode. I can't tell if 625 is worst than 640 from a set top box on TV.

Audrey Hepburn was in"The Secret People", which was on TCM this year.

Good film. Caught it at a theater about 3 years ago, seeing it for the first time.

How does most present a title on these boards? Is there a proper way? Up in the Air "Up in the Air" *Up in the Air* Up in the Air _Up in the Air_

I was more interested in the lettering and the icons used throughout. I realize the art work is Edward Hopper like.

> {quote:title=joefilmone wrote:}{quote} > Well I don't know what you mean by that. Its a basic 1950's "woman's picture" which deals with some taboo topics for that era- homosexuality and interracial romance. You have too huge topics to deal with in a 50s context. They should have stuck with one or the other. In the original it was the age difference and how her friends and children dealt with it. The updated version. It's adultery, 50s interracial affair, Oh and my husband doesn't love me cause he's a homosexual.

Is there an area on the forum than discusses TCMs Art Work used on the this site and on the show?

> {quote:title=joefilmone wrote:}{quote} > Todd Haynes wrote and directed this hommage to the Douglas Sirk/Ross Hunter great techniolored melodramas. Jualianne Moore, Dennis Quaid, Dennis Heysbert and Patricia Carlson star in this story of hidden desires in picture perfect 1950's suburbia. Anyone who thinks they can't make em like they use should really take a look at this movie. Sorry but this movie tried to be too many things.

Caught Come to the Stable on Fox a month or so back. Very Good.

> {quote:title=drednm wrote:}{quote} > Sydney Greenstreet was nominated for *The Maltese Falcon* and lost to Donald Crisp for *How Green Was My Valley.* Thanks. I just saw Donald Crisp in Drango (1957) over the weekend.

This is the type of movie that can someday gain momentum as "It's a Wonderful Life" did in the 70s. With a Blu Ray transfer and an little more recognition for Victor Moore it can become another "Christmas in Connecticut"

Did "Secret of the Incas" ever show on TCM? thank you Edited by: WhitSt on Dec 29, 2009 11:01 PM

You do understand that the end of the decade is Dec 31st 2010.

Why does it say Ignore Member in the posts? I would ask in technical section if could find one.

> {quote:title=BelleLeGrand1 wrote:}{quote} > The first one could possibly be *The Valley of Decision* (1945). Greer Garson's character came from a family of steel mill workers, who objected when she went to work as a maid for the family who owned the steel mill. Gregory Peck is the son of the mill owner. They fall in love and complications ensue. If she's wearing http://www.hathorizons.com/graphics/european_hats/scotland_tamoshanter.jpg bingo

My vote would have to be Harrison Ford's Haircuts during the 80s "You Can't Take it with You" won cause Capra was Pres. of the Academy in the 30s. Politics played an important part in early Hollywood. Was Sidney Greenstreet ever nominated?

Don't worry there's some kid in Finland figuring out the hack as we speak.
